Software Reviews of Microsoft Office Professional 2007 FULL VERSION
Customer Review: Microsoft Office for Dummies
Summary: 1 Stars
When I first started using Office 2007, I thought it was very "cool." However, the more I used it, the more frustrated I became.
First of all, I couldn't figure out how to do the things I used to be able to do-- especially in excel. And what's worse, "HELP" is not on their "ribbon" or on the main menu. You would think that "HELP" would be prominently displayed on any software menu. It isn't. I even had 2 other people try looking for it. None of use could find it. I finally had to just hit "F1", which as power users know, is the short cut key for "HELP."
Second, I was not able to customize the ribbon for the items I use most. The standard ribbon on this product is huge and takes up a lot of room on the screen. As a general rule, I don't use half of what is on that ribbon. I would like to customize the ribbon for those items that I do use regularly. This option has been taken away in Office 2007.
The absolute most frustrating thing, however, is this: It is not fully backwards compatible so for large spreadsheets created or worked on in 2003 that have lots of links and formulas, IT WILL REWRITE YOUR LINKS AND FORMULAS.
You can skip this part if you want. It is my litany of how I know this: I was using 2007 in the office. My home computer uses 2003. Since I was losing productivity at work trying to figure out 2007, I started bringing work home-- primarily excel work. At home, I would make changes to my work, correct formulas, reconcile my spreadsheets, and double check to make sure things were correct. The next day, I would hand my work to my boss and he would find mistakes. Some of them so obvious, I kept thinking, "Why didn't I catch this problem last night?" I began to doubt my competence and so, unfortunately, did my boss. Well, it turns out that Office 2007 is not fully backwards compatible and for large spreadsheets with a lot of links and formulas, such as the ones I create, if you go between 2003 and 2007, 2007 WILL REWRITE FORMULAS AND LINK THINGS INAPPROPRIATELY for things done in 2003. Thus if you send something you create in 2003, to someone who has 2007 (or vice versa), the result may be vastly different from what the sender thought. A friend and I found that information in a very well hidden blurb on Microsoft's website. So, I wasn't going crazy, nor was I incompetent. Office 2007 just SUCKS.
Because of my issues, the entire company's finance department and all other analytic departments in the company, decided not to migrate to Office 2007.
Finally, because Office 2007 is not fully backwards compatible, 2003 users might not even be able to open a document created in 2007.
Bottom line, this is the worst (say 1000 more times) MS product.
Customer Review: Happy to have had the opportunity to purchase this product at a better price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so happy to have had the opportunity to purchase Microsoft Office Professional at such a discounted price. The regular price is ridiculous and I hated paying so much for it but I really wanted this. When I saw the price, I just couldn't turn it down. And, as promised, it was new and in the original and sealed box and was not OEM or a download. Thanks!Customer Review: Good service from supplier. Product hard to access
Summary: 4 Stars
I was very satisfied with the supplier. Contact and delivery information were excellent and the product arrived in the time promised. However, it was very difficult working with Office 2007 and I actually had to contact my computer's manufacturer to assist with getting the software uploaded onto my desktop. I have not yet had the time needed to seek similar assistance from my laptop's maker. Excellent service from the supplier, but maybe the Microsoft corporation is too big... Customer Review: I like it rather well so far...

>Word: The availability of features through tabs is a bit different, but I'm not finding any difficulties finding what I need. Now that I'm getting used to it, I rather like it.
>Excel: Imported old spreadsheets and charts fom ms excel 2003 with no problem. Everything I've run so far works great.
>Outlook: Got my imap connection to my google account working with no worries. Kind of cool, actually, my update / deletes on Outlook on the client take effect in real time on the Google server.
>Install: Here I had a problem with disk 2 install due to a persistent error reported for MS sql server. I uninstalled sql server and tried jumping through hoops I found on the web. No joy. I forgot about it since the main programs I needed installed OK... but a few days later when I loaded MS visual studio express I noticed that it, too, had a MS sql server install, and that it installed OK. So, I figured, what the heck, I'll try that disk 2 install again and see if it gets past the MS sql server error. Hello! Successful install. That was bit of a journey in the wilderness, for which I deduct a star.
>system note: I'm running xp sp3.
Customer Review: Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Full Version
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed with the product and service from Brainstorm Co. I ordered a new copy of the software and when received it did not appear to be new at all. More importantly, the software was not able to be downloaded into a computer after several attempts.
I also did not get an acceptable response for return of software to Brainstorm Co. I did receive an email that said I would receive a return address label the next day but was not ever received after 8 days.
I have since filed a claim through Amazon and if that works as planned I will be pleased with Amazon
